Namaste, Readers.

Just finished the last of my last midterms... At least, of them until after spring break (which is ridiculously short- only one week! Tokyo, here we come!). In order to stay sane during the class craziness, here are five quick fixes that any college student can do:

1. Teach/attend an outdoor yoga flow!

I taught a #westYS one in USC's McCarthy Quad in 90 degree weather! It was so relaxing and fun.

2. Go out to dinner with a close friend.

A night out at Nobu Malibu never hurt anyone....Plus, you and your friend can talk your stresses out.

3. Pet some DOGS!

Because who can't be happy when petting a pup?! At USC, we have a service called PAUSE for PAWS that comes to the School of Cinematic Arts every Tuesday and Thursday to calm the students. Most college campuses offer something similar to this program! Alternatively, you can even go to play with dogs at your local animal shelter (if rules allow, hopefully). I am dogsick all the time (I miss my two English Teddy Bear Goldendoodles too much lol), so this is a good cuddle substitute.

4. Treat yourself.

Yes, we waited three hours to eat Black Magic at the Griddle. Yes, it was SO worth it. And, no, of course we couldn't finish even a fourth of it.

5. Party it UP!!! It's almost SUMMER!

Summer means that school is over-- which is good (no classes!) AND bad (no campus social life events/LA events/college goings on). Think about how soon summer- and spring break- is by getting in the mood! Throw a rad pool party with all your buds. Or, if your campus has Victoria's Secret PINK campus reps, ask them when the CABANA party is (trust me, it's lit).

I hope these suggestions will help you feel more balm, bool, and bollective (shoutout to my man YG). Allow the deathgrip these exams have on your social life loosen up! Study hard but also play hard! And, most importantly, FIGHT ON.

Buena Suerte,

ARW
